Fiora Cavazza.

If you have never played Assassin's Creed, or if you have played it but haven't ever bothered researching into it in ridiculous detail then the name Fiora Cavazza will mean very little to you...

Fiora is a character in Assassin's Creed who is playable during multiplayer, it has a small bio next to the character selection page, but a larger history is available in a set of short stories called Assassin's Creed Project Lineage...﻿

When I first read Lineage I planned to illustrate some of the stories as a comic book, which I started and is now buried in a cupboard... I still wanted to do something related, and so I decided to whip out the Sculpey and try to make a scale model of Ms. Cavazza.

I started by making a mannequin from crumpled foil and then layering this with Sculpey...

Once I had the Sculpey covering the mannequin I made some of the clothing for the torso, making sure to keep one hand free to hold a fan (Fiora's choice of weapon is a blade-tipped fan) before realising my fatal flaw... she is right handed...

So... after making some monumental changes the arms were corrected... I started working on the frills of the sleeves, the fabric of the shirt and general posture, plus refining the legs a bit as at this current moment they resemble the Thing...

This is how she currently looks, there is still a lot of work to be done, but that's the beauty of Sculpey... you can leave it in a drawer and come back to it in three weeks and it's fine!

In the mean-time, I have a few other projects going on which I will post here soon!
